«In a major embarrassment to India, Delhi University Professor Ashok Kumar Bakhshi who was still February-end director of Mauritius Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) was arrested on Thursday from Plaisance airport while leaving for India », lit-on dans le journal indien Times of India.

The Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) had in 2013 signed an agreement with the Association of Indian Universities (AIU) to circumvent the University Grants Commission (UGC). However, the Indian government has issued a series of criticisms against the AIU and reproached his "unprofessional."

The Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) wants to know if the Mauritian Indian institutions issuing diplomas are illegal or not. This follows a notice published by his Indian counterpart indicating that no Indian university has been authorized to grant degrees abroad.

NEW DELHI: As international cooperation goes, a history was created last November when Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) of Mauritius and Association of Indian Universities (AIU) signed an agreement. The venue was Mauritian capital of Port Louis but the Indian signatory was not present there. He was somewhere in India.

The Indian government provides approximately 100 scholarships from the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) with return flight to Mauritian students. These courses follow 'Undergraduate' or 'Postgraduate' in various fields, such as science, engineering, languages, management and fine arts, in Indian universities.
